Hello and welcome to The Upgrade, the podcast from the team of LifeHacker, where we help you improve your life one week at a time.

I am Alice Bradley, editor-in-chief of LifeHacker.

And I'm Jordan Calhoun, LifeHacker's deputy editor.

Jordan, today we are learning how to upgrade our work-from-home setups.

That's correct. We're upgrading our home offices, our internet connections, our plant collections.

That's right, all of those things.

And who better to walk us through this than Gizmodo editors, Alex Cranz, and Brian Kahn.

The technology is changing so rapidly and improving exponentially

home a little more manageable and a little more comfortable.

Alex Cranes is a senior consumer tech editor at Gizmodo and Tech Gadget extraordinaire.

And Brian is the managing editor at Erther, Gizmodo's environmentally focused vertical.

Alex and Brian are also co-hosts of Gizmodo's new podcast called System Reboot,

which explores the systemic failures that are currently ruining our world

and speaking with experts on how we can fix each of them.

Hey Jordan, what's your, what's your greatest struggle with working from home?

Alice, where do I begin? So I live on a major intersection in New York City and it's loud as all hell.
